Hey all,
I've noticed this year more than ever that lots of Black Friday sales have been extended or have reappeared as Christmas approaches. Some of the deals are more generous than usual, and I noticed on the BF thread that so many people seemed to be refraining from partaking this time around. There seems to be a cooling off in the market.
Having at one point spent thousands of $s on new samples in any given year, I'm pretty much restricting myself to around $100 max per library, and I've gotta be really blown away by any playthroughs or demos to go for it.
I was just pondering:
- How much are you willing to pay for a sample library going into 2024?
But also...
- Have we reached a point where companies will have to offer some sort of demo as people are just not willing to take the risk of spending $100s with no option of a refund?
- Will sample makers start working on cheaper, smaller projects as the market is cooling?
